[Grant McCasland is New UNT Basketball Coach]

Good hire if true. Guy has been successful everywhere he has been. 

[Bowling?]

It's a little early for bowl predictions but of course they are out there and I have seen North Texas in the Bahama Bowl against Tulsa on a few.

[Fine starting today]

Could work as motivation for both

UNT/SMU are rivals. It's a lopsided rivalry, but a rivalry nonetheless. Hopefully this series continues until at least 2025 and UNT can improve on that 15% winning percentage.

All time it is lopsided, since 1989 it has been a pretty even back and forth thing.

At this point a fresh set of eyes is needed. If all things were rosy then he would probably the right choice, but they aren't.

I'm definitely not going to come out and say that I want Benford for another year, but as we hit June does it really make sense at this point to NOW make a change at the top? 

Now, tomorrow, July, 5 minutes before first game or halftime of 10th game it just needs to happen as soon as possible. The guy has no future as a head coach and the sooner the change is made the better off the team will be going forward.

They need to bring this uniform back more frequently. It is 10x better than the garbage they are running around in right now. 

 

They need to bring back the worm, stick with it forever and not ever change.

My thoughts exactly. Throwing huge bucks at a loser while "controlling" that loser would seem to make them losers even in their own eyes. Unless of course they're the only members of the Rich Guy's Club who have no egos.

Jerry Jones wouldn't agree.

[Lay off RV]

What other school the size of North Texas in a market the size of DFW would allow RV to keep his job this long?

[Promotion ideas for next year's men's basketball games]

I would say since they brought Benford back to save money then have a drawing each home game to pick a ticket holder to coach the game that night. That way they are getting someone else to coach the team without having to pay and it can't get any worse.

Talent doesn't me anything if you don't have team chemistry which is the coach's responsibility.

 

If they feel that all this talent is coming back it would seem the perfect time to go out and get a coach that might be able to build something with that talent rather than wasting it with a coach that has proven to be the SUCK. 

[MGB: Three reasons UNT will be better next year (now with three reasons UNT will be worse)]

Coach Benford in reviewing your performance we have come to the conclusion it can't get any worse so we have decided to bring you back. Thanks Vito for letting us know how that meeting went because I was totally confused.

Gonzaga isn't the poor little basketball program people think they are.  They dedicate a large amount of money to men's basketball.  

They spend over $7 Million a year.

In comparison,..Texas Tech spends $5 Million, K Stste spends $6 Million, LSU spends $6 Million, Texas A&M $6.8 Million and Oklahoma spends $9 Million.

 

Rick

No Gonzaga is a little school in a little conference that is a basketball power and I would say they are getting a pretty good return on their investment.

03/20/16...  The day UNT confirmed to every alumni everywhere that they don't care about winning in major athletic sports. 

UNT really should just drop to FCS and do what they really want to do: spend as little money as possible on athletics. 

It would make more sense to drop all scholarships, petition to join the NAIA and save the money at this point.
